BestMARC helps with RDA Fields
BestMARC has a built in assistance for entering some of the RDA fields as well as dealing with capitalization and the 264 field. If you haven't used this source for this class, you may want to consider it for this assignment.

Here is a brief overview of utilizing the RDA components of BestMARC: http://best-marc.com/Support/HowTo/AddRDAFields.aspx

NOTE: I find when telling BestMARC that I want to use RDA that it does not automatically change the 260 field to 264 (even though it says that it will.) You will need to delete the 260 and add the 264 manually.

NOTE: If you are using MARC Magician, it will not let you enter the 264 field unless you go to File > Options > Advanced and then uncheck the box that says "selecting fields and subfields" under "Restrict choices to MARC when...".

NOTE: BestMARC's prompts for Video Recording - Online are incorrect for the 337 and 338 tags. Use the MARC tags I have listed above under the Cheat Sheet for Downloadable and Streaming Video.


PART THE FIRST

STEP 1: Complete the cataloging for the following textbook examples below. Fill in information for tags listed below that were not addressed in the textbook examples. You are to fully catalog each title (which means adding the Pentlin requirements to the records that aren't in the textbook answers (each record will have a Dewey classification, subject headings, a summary, etc.) This is a summative exercise and so you will use the MARC tags that we have discussed this far in the course -- those that are listed below:

  • 020 $a ISBN number
  • 082 $a Dewey Classification Number
  • 100 $a main person responsible for the item
  • 100 $d dates
  • 245 $a Title
  • 245 $b Remainder of title
  • 245 $c Statement of responsibility
  • 250 $a Edition statement
  • 260 $a Publisher place
  • 260 $b Publisher name
  • 260 $c Date of distribution
  • 300 $a number of pages, extent of the item
  • 300 $b illustrations, maps, portraits
  • 300 $c dimensions
  • 362 $a volumes in a series - sequential designation
  • 490 $a Series statement
  • 500 $a Note: general notes you think appropriate
  • 505 $a Note: formatted contents note
  • 520 $a Note: Summary of the material
  • 6XX $a Subject headings
  • 7XX $a Added entry



STEP 2: In addition to completing the records by adding additional information you are to catalog these records using RDA rules -- modifying the information in the textbook to meet the RDA rules that are listed above. By all means use the answers in the text as a jumping off point BUT remember the answers in the text are using AACR2 rules and even though you have answers on how to catalog these titles at the back of the text you will need to modify the records to utilize the four RDA areas listed above. In re-cataloging these titles, please use every quick trick that you have learned in accessing favorite copy cataloging resources to help you fully catalog these titles. It is exactly the kind of thing that you would do in your library. Copy wherever you can.

The best examples of records with RDA information is the Library of Congress: http://catalog.loc.gov. You may want to look at records for examples even if you don't find the exact record you are cataloging.

RDA ADDITIONS FOR THIS FINAL ASSIGNMENT -- ALL EIGHT RECORDS
  1. The relationship designator ($e) in the 100 and 700 fields. (BestMARC has a drop-down menu for you to choose the relationship of the person to the item being cataloged.)
  2. Three new MARC fields: 336, 337, and 338 used for all items and which also replaces the 245 $h General Materials designation
  3. Publisher field 264 will replace 260 (go ahead and delete the 260 field).


ASSIGNMENT: COMPLETELY CATALOG THESE PRINT BOOKS FROM YOUR TEXTBOOK INCLUDING RDA CHANGES LISTED ABOVE
  1. In Search of Genghis Khan, p.7
  2. Eats, Shoots & Leaves, p. 33
  3. Ethiopia Photographed, p. 58
  4. Cross-Cultural Perspectives, p. 59
  5. Life Signs, p. 60


PART THE SECOND

ASSIGNMENT: CATALOG THESE ITEMS COMPLETELY AND INCORPORATE RDA RULES DISCUSSED ABOVE. Even though you are not cataloging books, I want you to go ahead and give each item a Dewey number anyway.
  1. You are working with the language arts teachers and they want an audio version of Hamlet for their students who are struggling with the language. You have found this free version and want to catalog this audio for future reference:
    Hamlet (downloadable e-audio book) https://librivox.org/hamlet-by-william-shakespeare/
    • Add a Common Core Standard for this title (658 field).

  2. The social studies teacher wants to use parts of this movie as a part of a project dealing with rebellions against a dictatorship. You have purchased the DVD and want to add it to the collection.
    Guardians of the Galaxy (DVD) http://www.amazon.com/Guardians-Galaxy-Chris-Pratt/dp/B00N1JQ452/ref=sr_1_1_twi_2_twi_2?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1416248955&sr=1-1&keywords=guardians+of+the+galaxy
    • Be sure to add the main actors to the record and also be sure to add the relationship designator to their names

  3. The PE and health teacher wants her students to view this video at home in order to prepare a class roundtable discussion on the way the drug market is changing:
    Drugs Inc. Designer Drugs (Streaming video file)
